 Kurupt & Roscoe Album Out Now / Exclusive News - By : Nima - November 12, 2008
 Dubcnn hooked up with Kurupt to get a few words on the Kurupt & Roscoe album, "The Frank & Jess Story", which was officially released yesterday, November 11th 2008, through High Powered Ent/Koch Records. The album was produced by J. Silva and features Daz, Kokane, Too Short, Rob Quest and Gail Gotti amongst others.
"This album was long overdue. Me and Scodie have always kept it pushing and it was about time we came full circle for a whole album. This is just the start, you can expect many more albums from me and Roscoe", Kurupt said.
Throughout the last weeks, Kurupt and Roscoe have been on a nationwide promo tour, networking and promoting the album on different radio stations. "We were out in New York, DJ Whoo Kid showed us a lot of love, everybody at G-Unit Radio, Shade 45, they fuck with us heavy. Even Kay Slay, that's my nigga! I ain't kicked it with him like that before, but I got a chance to meet him and he's a real cool cat. They all supported the project, so anything any of those DJ's need, Kay Slay, Whoo Kid, Angela Yee (Lip Service), they all support us big", he said about the duo's promo tour, which also featured 40 Glocc and Gail Gotti.
"We was just having a ball, that's what the album was about. It's conscious but fun at the same time - and all West Coast. We've got conscious records on there like "All I Need" with Daz and the one with me and Rob from the Coughee Brothaz, which is some smooth, real life shit." About the albums producer, High Powered Ent's John Silva, Kurupt had nothing but good things to say: "John really put this record together and I think people are gonna see some of his best work on there."
We already brought you two tracks off the album, "Break It Down Like" with Too Short and the introspective "I Got U", but here go two of my personal favorites off "The Frank & Jess Story", incase you need more convincing to go pick it up:
Kurupt & Roscoe - All I Need (ft. Daz Dillinger)
Kurupt & Roscoe - No Time To Waste (ft. Kokane, Rob Quest & T-Mac)
Incase you haven't done so yet, make sure to go pick up Kurupt & Roscoe's "The Frank & Jess Story", available in stores and online now!
 However, knowing Kurupt, he already has plenty of other projects he's putting together, most notably the Kurupt & DJ Quik album "Blaqkout" (spelt qk for "Q"uik and "K"urupt). This album is shaping up to be one of the most promising to drop in the near future.
"Me and Quik is next with the Blaqkout. The album is real proper, we put our foot in on this one! We're about 90% done, about two more songs to do and Quik is already mixing the tracks. This is a step above a lot of things we've done lately, Kurupt explains.
"I told Quik that people don't want too much time to go by before another Quik album comes out. He's part of the history out here and they wanna hear him! He said fuck it, let's ride out! We did a few records and he was loving it, the chemistry was there. We're both rapping on the album and Quik did all the production." If that's not enough information to get the excitement up for "Blaqkout", then I don't know what is.
Apart from that, you can also expect the upcoming Dogg Pound album "100 Wayz", a Kurupt solo album called "Street Lights" entirely produced by Terrace Martin, and another Kurupt solo produced by Snoop Dogg. "Each of these are totally different albums, none of them sound the same. Each of them got its own concept", Kurupt described his various solo projects.
As usual, you can expect the latest news on Kurupt and the rest of the Dogg Pound Gang, right here on dubcnn.Discuss This Topic

.......................................................................................... DJ Quik & Kurupt Unite for "The Blaqkout" LP - By : LilJay - April 1, 2009
 Here is the official press release for the highly anticipated collabo album "Blaqkout" by DJ Quik and Kurupt:
Multi-platinum producer & recording artist DJ Quik, and Dogg Pound affiliate & gangster rapper extraordinaire Kurupt are two of the best-known West Coast representatives in Rap & Hip Hop, period. The pair have teamed up to create a cutting-edge sound on Blaqkout, a full-length collaboration album conceptualized during Snoop Dogg’s Ego Trippin’ recording sessions and masterminded by DJ Quik.
“Kurupt does in rap what I do in music,” DJ Quik says. “It just made sense. Kurupt is a gangster rapper in the sense of being raw, bare-bones and uncut. I wanted to do music that evoked certain feelings and could show his microphone superiority.”
A prime example of the duo’s explosive chemistry is “9 Times Out Of 10.” Over a heavy drum assemblage, Kurupt freaks an intricate rhyme pattern about the likelihood of things happening over and over again. “Blaqkout,” is a masterful musical moment where Kurupt’s brutal lyricism matches Quik’s energetic creation. The “Blaqkout” cut is the epitome of Southern Cali rider music that brings a Sunday on Crenshaw Blvd. vibe to mind.
But the track “Hey Playa” (Moroccan Blues) is the gem in Quik’s production crown – he found the sample & inspiration for this track while watching the Morocco episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern on TV. It’s this type of sonic bliss that made the partnership between DJ Quik -- a platinum solo artist and producer of Jay-Z, 2Pac, AMG and others -- and Kurupt -- the standout lyricist of Death Row Records, a double platinum member of Tha Dogg Pound and a ferocious freestyle MC -- so significant.
“Blaqkout” will be in stores June 9, 2009.

.......................................................................................... New Music From DJ Quik and Kurupt's "The Blaqkout" LP - By : LilJay - April 5, 2009
Ever since DJ Quik and Kurupt teamed up for the classic "Can't Go Wrong" from Kurupt's "Space Boogie" album, fans have been requesting a full-length project from the two legends. With the upcoming release of "Blaqkout", it's safe to say that this collabo project is not only one of this summer's most anticipated new albums, but of all of 2009.
Naturally, snippets and radio rips of different songs have been leaking the past few weeks, allowing fans to get their first taste of music from the album. "Whatcha Wanna Do" and "Hey Playa!" are two songs that made their rounds online and they received mixed reviews, part of the reason being the poor sound quality. And since you shouldn't really base your opinion on a low quality rip, it's time for Dubcnn to let these two exclusives off so everyone can get the crystal clear experience.

.......................................................................................... Daz Dillinger Gears Up For "Public Enemiez" On August 11th - By : Nima - July 30, 2009
 Fans of Tha Dogg Pound know that they never have to wait long for a new release from their favorite group members. Kurupt recently dropped his collaboration effort with DJ Quik, "BlaQKout", and it is now time for the other half of the Pound, Daz Dillinger, to grace his fans with a new album.
The new record is entitled "Public Enemiez" and as the title suggests, it is premised around the "Public Enemies" flick which highlights 1930s gangster John Dillinger. "Public Enemiez" offers insight to Daz’s personal experiences, allowing listeners to see who Daz Dillinger really is.
Tracks such as "Life Stagez" and "N My Neighborhood" find Daz reminiscing about hismself and depicting the inner-city lifestyle that is, to this day, prevalent in "his neighborhood". "Tell Me What U Got", takes you on a trip through his days on Death Row Records and sheds light on his feelings about his former boss, Suge Knight. While most of the album carries a mellow sound, the party anthem "Meet Me @ The Strip Club" succeeds in switching up the mood throughout the record.
"Public Enemiez" is a true solo album, meaning no other rappers are featured on it – something that rarely happens anymore these days. Daz did however reach out to some of his favorite R&B crooners Latoya Williams, Chris Starr, Los and Nicole Wray to assist him on the hooks, as well as his production partners Soopafly and Ivan Johnson to co-produce with him.
Dubcnn exclusively leaked "Tell Me What U Got" and "Life Stagez" throughout the past months, and now we have the CDQ Mp3 version of "N My Neighborhood" available, to which a video was released earlier this year:
Daz Dillinger - N My Neighborhood (Audio / Video)
 Daz Dillinger - Tell Me What U Got (Audio / Video)
Daz Dillinger - Life Stagez (Audio)
A video has been filmed for every track on the album, so expect more visuals soon.
"Public Enemiez" drops digitally on August 11th through Dogg Pound Online/ INgrooves. You can also catch Daz Dillinger on tour right now with Snoop Dogg and Slightly Stoopid on the "Blazed & Confused" tour in the United States.

 DJ Quik is bringing back his popular jam session style concert series, Quik's Groove, to the House of Blues in Los Angeles located on the Sunset Strip.
